Daniil Medvedev slams "low IQ" Australian Open crowd after Nick Kyrgios win

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been snapped back at Manchester United for the first time since being axed as manager in November.Solskjaer, 48, was sacked after a poor run of results, including a 4-1 defeat to relegation-threatened Watford, that saw the Red Devils slip to eighth in the Premier League table. Nicknamed the 'baby-faced assassin' during his playing days, the Norwegian is synonymous with one of Man Utd's greatest ever comebacks as the Red Devils lifted the Champions League in dramatic circumstances in 1999.Solskjaer guided Man Utd to third and second-place finishes during his three-year spell at the club and was tipped to go one better this season after an emphatic summer transfer window.Expectation around Old Trafford was heightened due to the arrivals of Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo, who returned to the club after a 12-years hiatus.But the writing was on the wall after a 5-0 hammering at home to arch-rivals Liverpool and Solskjaer was sacked after a barren run of just one win in seven top-flight matches.Now though, the six-time Premier League winner has returned to the Theatre of Dreams for the first time since his dismissal at the back end of last year.Do you think Ralf Rangnick was the right successor to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer?

Cristiano Ronaldo.Georgina, who is engaged to the Manchester United attacker, has been subject to huge criticism by her dad's brother-in-law, who has said he helped raised the 28-year-old after her dad went to prison.Jesus Hernandez told The Sun that the model “has only rung once or twice since I found out she was dating Ronaldo".He said: “She may feel ashamed of us and consider she's better than us because we don't live with her luxury. I've never asked her for anything.”'I was in charge of providing for Georgina and her sister, buying them clothes, paying for their electricity and water.“I did everything.

Wimbledon in 2014 following a win over Rafael Nadal, reaching the same stage of the Australian Open the following year.However, now aged 26, he has not yet matched those performances from 22 Grand Slam appearances, and he has now offered an explanation as to why he hasn't always been at his best.Kyrgios has blamed 'sexual frustration' having been away from his first girlfriend for long chunks of the year during the start of his career, having previously dated a fellow tennis player.Speaking to News.AU, he said: "With my first girlfriend, I was away from her for six months at a time."When you’re trying to perform at the highest level, you start missing someone like emotionally, physically and it becomes a sexual frustration."I’m on court and I can’t play because I’m a bit horny, if you know what I mean.“It doesn’t matter if you’re in an office job … If you’re not seeing your significant other, it affects you, your work, your mood, everything.Will Nick Kyrgios win a Grand Slam? Give us your thoughts in the comments section“I was the moodiest motherf***** when I was away from my missus for that long.”Having dated Ajla Tomljanovic until 2018, he was then linked to Chiara Passari before current partner Costeen Hatzi.Having been knocked out of the Australian Open singles by Daniil Medvedev, he and Thanasi Kokkinakis have wowed the home crowd by reaching the men's doubles semi-finals, where they face Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos.

tennis ball.Kyrgios often lets his emotions get the better of him on the court and it happened again during a doubles match at the Australian Open.After his partner and fellow Aussie Thanasi Kokkinakis had hit the net with a serve, he smashed an anger-filled shot into the ground which flew up and away.The ball stopped when it hit Fin Crane, a nine-year-old in the crowd, who burst into tears.However, all has been forgiven after Kyrgios redeemed himself with an act of kindness.Fin pointed to where the ball hit him as he told The Today Show: "It hit me in the stomach and it did hurt."Giving me his bat made me feel a lot better, he is now my favourite player."The incident was part of a drama-filled match for Kyrgios and Kokkinakis, who go by the nickname 'Special K's'.The pair were playing up to their home crowd against New Zealander Michael Venus and German Tim Puetz. Is Nick Kyrgios good or bad for tennis? Let us know in the comments section. It was particularly heated between Kyrgios and Venus, who exchanged several words throughout the match which ended 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 in the Aussies' favour.Venus later said: "The amount of messages I got from people, an extreme amount, way, way more than I've ever had but then a lot of messages from people saying how embarrassed they were with the crowd's behaviour and they're sorry, it shouldn't have been like that."They'll always be his supporters and he'll spin it in a way that helps him but at the end of the day he's an absolute k***."He added: "It's amazing, he can smash a ball out that hits a kid and just 'cause he gives them a racquet afterwards people can say he's such a good guy."But Kyrgios, who is now into the semi-finals with Kokkinakis, promised fans they would "always have a

Australian Open.Madness unfolded at the brand new Kia Arena as the Australian duo defeated No.6 seeded pair Tim Puetz of Germany and New Zealander Michael Venus 7-5 3-6 6-3.In never before witnessed scenes, the raucous crowd continuously yelled out in the middle of points and Venus’ service action in an attempt to aid their domestic tennis stars.And with Kyrgios and Kokkinakis encouraging the mayhem, officials were unable to maintain order to the dismay of some journalists and viewers.Each one of the pair’s Australian Open matches until now has raised the atmosphere a little more.The second set of their triumph saw several dramatic moments in particular which increased the frenzy inside the Kia Arena.That included Kyrgios being warned for time violations on his serve, opting to toss the ball up several times before finally entering his serve motion, which prompted an angry outburst from Venus who complained to the chair umpire.Kyrgios then complained about Venus’ serve in what led to a feisty war-of-words between the two during every service towards the end of the second set.That added to the drama as the crowd were given further reason to turn against Venus, who appeared to revel in the abuse.However, not everyone was a fan of the dramatic spectacle, with various journalists taking to Twitter to voice their disapproval.Australian journalist Monica Attard wrote: “The crowd behaviour made it unwatchable. What a disgrace.

and then swigged a beer handed to him by a fan after he demolished Briton Liam Broady in his opening match.Defeat to de facto top seed Daniil Medvedev followed, but he's continued to be noticed, with beaten opponents offering to fight him in the gym after an ill-tempered second-round doubles match.But while the aforementioned dramas all relate - albeit tenuously - to tennis matches, his much publicised love-life also remains in the spotlight.He's currently dating Costeen Hatzi, just months after his volatile split from model Chiara Passari, and the Australian's relationships - just like his tennis career - have rarely been low-key.Kyrgios was being hailed as a prestigious young talent on the tennis scene when he began dating fellow pro Ajla Tomljanovic - who hails from Croatia but had by then decided to represent Australia.The pair were frequently spotted with each other and even played as partners in mixed doubles at the Australian Open in 2015 and 2016. Indeed, Kyrgios once told reporters: “It’s when I’m with her that I am the happiest.”Seemingly, that didn't mean happy enough, with the couple splitting in 2017 after Kyrgios was photographed partying with other female tennis players.Tomljanovic did the honourable thing and deactivated her social media after unfollowing her ex-boyfriend, and although Kyrgios later publicly hinted at a reunion, the romance never rekindled.She's now in a relationship with another tennis star, Matteo Berrettini.Come March 2020, and Kyrgios was dating another fellow tennis star, Russian player Anna Kalinskaya.

Paul Merson has once again slammed Cristiano Ronaldo, telling the Manchester United star he should apologise to Anthony Elanga for his reaction at Brentford.

Manchester United fans were all saying the same thing about Diogo Dalot as the Portuguese full-back was praised for his first-half display against West Ham.

Cristiano Ronaldo owes Anthony Elanga a big apology.What he did against Brentford spoiled the youngster's big day - and it was so childish.The poor kid. He starts his first Premier League game of the season, scores for Manchester United.And then Ronaldo gets substituted, strops off and has a hissy fit. As soon as it happened as I said to my mate: 'You watch, you won't even know the kid has scored now.'It was unbelievable for someone who's been around the game that long to do that and take the headlines away from Elanga.Ronaldo was lucky he stayed on as long as he did! Oh my god if it was anybody else they would have been hooked well before then.It's not happening for him.

Cristiano Ronaldo after the superstar’s angry reaction to being hauled off during Manchester United’s win at Brentford.Ronaldo started up-front for United and played a crucial role in the Mason Greenwood goal that ultimately sealed the three points for Rangnick’s men.The Portuguese attacker chested a lofted ball forward into the path of Bruno Fernandes who sprinted through on goal before playing a squared pass to Greenwood to tap-in.But nine minutes after that goal, which was United’s second of the game, Rangnick opted to replace Ronaldo with centre-back Harry Maguire.Ronaldo was left furious by that decision, slowly walking off the pitch before throwing a coat that had been handed to him by a kit-man to the ground.The 36-year-old continued to show his frustration while sitting on one of the steps in the dugout at the Brentford Community Stadium.He could be seen gesturing and asking why it was him who had been taken off before shaking his head.While he defended Ronaldo’s angry reaction, Rangnick insisted after the win that it had been the right call.Was Ralf Rangnick's decision to substitute Cristiano Ronaldo the right one? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section...He highlighted the fact that Ronaldo had only recently returned from injury, as well as the events of United’s last game in which they threw away a two-goal lead at Aston Villa, for his reasons.“That is normal - a striker wants to score,” Rangnick told BT Sport when asked about Ronaldo’s reaction to being taken off.“But he has come back from a little injury and it was important to remember we have got another game coming up.Want to be on the ball with all of the latest football news?Well then sign up for the brilliant Daily Star football email

Manchester United for being “unbelievably lucky” in their win over the Bees on Wednesday.The Red Devils travelled to London for the rearranged Premier League clash, with Ralf Rangnick’s side claiming a welcome 3-1 win in their battle to finish in the top four.But during another dreadful first-half, the visitors had David de Gea to thank for keeping the scores goalless heading into the break, with the Spaniard pulling off a series of crucial saves.De Gea twice prevented Mathias Jensen from breaking the deadlock in the first period, with United coming out as a different team for the second period.United quickly punished Brentford for missing those chances when Anthony Elanga controlled Fred’s pass before heading in from close range 10 minutes after the interval.Mason Greenwood then provided the tap-in on a wonderful team goal after Bruno Fernandes raced onto Cristiano Ronaldo’s brilliant chest down.And Rangnick’s side made sure of all three points when substitute Marcus Rashford fired in at the near post.Though Ivan Toney pulled a goal back following a scramble, it was too little, too late for Brentford.Who was man of the match in Manchester United's win over Brentford?

Cristiano Ronaldo threw his coat to the floor in frustration after being substituted in the second half of Manchester United's clash with Brentford on Wednesday evening.

Wimbledon, he claimed the scalp of Rafael Nadal as he made his way to the quarter-finals.Expectations rose around the youngster, but that Wimbledon result still stands as his best.Instead, Kyrgios is best known for his antics, and Daily Star Sport is looking at five of them....New year, same old Kyrgios.At the first round of the 2022 Australian Open, he took fan engagement to a new level.In a tournament that will already be remembered for the scandal surrounding Novak Djokovic being deported from Australia, Kyrgios decided to have some light-hearted fun.Kyrgios had beaten Liam Broady in straight sets in his typical eccentric style with serves between the legs and a Cristiano Ronaldo 'Siuu' to boot.The 24-year-old then proceeded to down a beer, that had been gifted to him from the crowd in celebration.
